14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah, in respect to which tribe Moses spake nothing of a priesthood.
15 And this is still more clear, if after the likeness of Melchisedek another priest is raised up,
16 who is made not according to the law of a commandment concerning flesh, but according to the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, saying, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedek."
18 Here then is a disannulment of a preceding commandment on account of its weakness and inutility,
19 [for the law made nothing perfect] and an introduction of a better hope by which we draw near to God.
20 And inasmuch as this was not without an oath, 21 [for with regard to them, they indeed were made priests without an oath, but he was made with an oath, by him who said to him, "The Lord hath sworn and will not change, thou art a priest forever after the order of 'Melchisedek"",
22 by so much Jesus is made the surety of a better covenant.
23 Again, with regard to them, many were made priests, because death prevented a continuance: 24 but He, because of his continuing forever, hath a priesthood which doth not pass from one to another.
25 So that he is completely able to save them, who come to God by him, as he is ever alive to intercede for them.
